Okay so I was using my phone and it suddenly turned off and when I attempted to turn it back on it would show me the galaxy s4 screen and turn off right away. Does anyone know why this is happening? Every time I try turning it on it does that. I tried booting into recovery and no go idk what else to do. Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried a battery pull? Then some charging.

Flash it back to back to stock with Odin

Thanks everyone for all your help @TheSickness was correct I'm debating if I should upgrade to an s5.

The S5 finger print is a major target for hackers to steal your identity. Just saying, if you upgrade, make sure you don't goof up. I'm almost afraid to upgrade to the S5, been thinking of getting a note again. But really IDK. Maybe I'll keep my S4 and get a tablet or a kindle. Something to do my desktop website development work on.

Hi guys. Thanks for helping me get my note 2 up again. Now a problem that had been with my phone for a long time; the phone goes off by itself, even when it's on top of a desk untouched. Sometimes it goes off when it's charging and someone's when it's in my pocket.
I have to press the start button for like ten seconds to boot it; otherwise I remove the battery and replace it then press the start button like normal.
I tried flashing new factory roms to no avail; problem persists.
Other thanthis issuethe phoneworks verywell. What can I do to get this phone to work properly?
Thanks guys.

Maybe but I have no idea. How could one solve this problem if it happens to be the one?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
From your description it can't be a simple loosened battery, I think its hardware related since flashing new roms dousnt work. You still have warranty?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Nope. .. no warranty here.

Does anyone else have this problem? It only loads half the time I've been through multiple reinstalls on multiple different roms and it's still super unreliable.... I think it's ironic that the xda premium app is so buggy

Haha this is funny because I had to log on the computer to reply because my app won't load right now. It seems to work a little better when I'm not connected to a wifi network, though not by much (bad network connection isn't the cause).
Mine stalls and won't load half of the time too. I usually just hit the back button, then re-open the app and it loads on the second try. Slightly annoying but still faster than using the browser.

I notified the mods several times last week. Everytime I turned xda on it would say connecting to servers for 15 minutes.

The tapatalk app is the same way when trying to load xda

+1 this. Idk what the deal is. Half the time it won't even load period if I am connected to any WIFI source. I get a connection fail. Even when I use the data network it hangs half the time. When I do finally get it to where I can actually reply to something the message only posts 1/3 of the time. Otherwise I get a "you do not have permission..." blah blah blah. I don't even receive notifications anymore. The only way I know if someone responds to anything is when I get an email notification in Gmail. Idk what happened to this app. It used to be awesome.
I use wi-fi 90% of the time and don't have trouble loading any other app.

I noticed the same thing on tapatalk at times when accessing the xda site. From what I can tell it mostly has to be on xda end as I have no problem accessing other forums that I am a part of.

Lol well I guess I'm glad it's not just me. Is it just this device or across the board on other phones?

It's across the board. My kindle fire, rezound and gtablet all have the same issues with xda app. I have gotten so used to loading and reloading I barely notice it now. Minor annoyances!
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Same
I'm experiencing the same. Doesn't load on first try, slow on second, a little better on wifi. The irony...
It's crazy that one of the top downloaded paid apps is this unstable... It's like bitstrips when it first came out but worse.... Because I paid for it

I have now swapped the board with another phone and the screen and everything work just fine so I have narrowed it down to the board.
fixed!
It was a bad power button!
Glad you got it figured out.

Since updating to 4.4.2 KitKat, my screen freezes often, especially when the screen shuts off and goes into the lock screen. In order to fix it, I have to take the battery out and put it back in for it to work properly until the next time. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any way to fix it?

I would do a factory reset and a clean install. Might have been a bad download.

It was an OTA update. No downloading or flashing

Does anyone know of this? I would really like to have something like that. I like the look and feel of the note 3 better just don't have the cash in hand to throw down on one. I'm running the stock NE2 firmware that I flashed and rooted via odin. Thanks in advance

Only two I know of. First is my community rom. It is mostly an N3 rom with a bunch of S5 apps. Only issue is the spen clipping (hold spen key and outline something) and uses the N3 settings menu. The other is my port of the verizon S5-feat. It has more S5 features such as ultimate power saver, toolbox, working spen clipping, and S5 settings menu.

Good deal thanks I have been rooting and flashing Roms for a long while now but never looked into development side. My first Android device was a HTC hero and I rooted it straight out of the box. Haven't second thought about owning androids since.
